I do not know if this qualifies exactly for the "rule of thirds" challenge. I mean the subject does occupy the lines which divide the frame in three parts length and breadth wise, but it is not confined to the intersections.
I was not very happy about the cropped off hand, but my son wont stand there any longer, he wanted to go out on the road, so I had to divert him and get him in.

Critique Club Review:

Rule of thirds, is basically the center of attention should be along one of the imaginary lines, that would run across the photo if you divided it into thirds vertically and horizontally.

The eye here, is drawn to your son's eye, which is in the center of the photo. (not along one of those imaginary lines) As with most rules, sometimes breaking the rules gives a better result. However, the challenge is rule of thirds, and your score probably suffered some because of this.

As far as this photo goes...

Color, saturation, and hue are very good. Skin tones are very good. Brightness and contrast are good as well.

Focus is good. I would liked to have seen a little shallower depth of field. A soft background would really emphasize your son.

As you already mentioned, a complete hand would have helped a lot, and probably included the full latch on the gate, which currently runs out of the frame and distracts a little bit.

When judging the requirements for this challenge I am judging where my eye first focuses on the picture. Here it is dead center on the child’s eye. Nice colors and a beautiful child.

Lovely shot; is it too centered for ROT?

I really like the contrast between the orange of the boys outfit and the bricks in the background
